Farmington Municipal Schools

Farmington Municipal Schools (FMS) is a public school district in Farmington, New Mexico. The District covers an area of approximately 808-square-miles in San Juan County with more than 11,000 students. A majority of our students live on, or are from, the Navajo Nation, and we also have Hispanic, white, African American, and Asian students. The City of Farmington is a place where outdoor lovers and active families thrive in the picturesque northwest corner of New Mexico.

Our vision is to continue to serve high quality nutritional meals. We incorporate a robust nutrition education program and implement a farm to school initiative with a district-wide composting program and onsite school gardens, introducing our students to the local food system farming techniques, education, and immersion into growing plants. Some FoodCorps members do direct food education in the classroom and we have a district level position to help execute and implement the district-wide goals.

FoodCorps service members at Farmington Municipal Schools are a part of a New Mexico Cohort that includes 9 service members in 3 different communities across the state.

Partner sites in New Mexico are located in the occupied territories of Farmington, San Felipe Pueblo, Las Cruces, and Anthony. We acknowledge and seek to continually honor that all land within the present borders of New Mexico were originally entrusted and stewarded by Native Peoples. New Mexico prides itself on our population and the deep traditions that are so important to our communities.
